Who do we think those costs will be passed on to....

Re:Tell HN: PayPal Blocks GrapheneOS on Thursday August 27, 2026 @11:32AM (#49466500)
Isn't this more about PayPal disliking a rooted device rather than Graphene? I used to have all kinds of issues with financial apps when I was rooted, regardless of OS

By comparison, have to handle it to DeDupe for its transparency:

Re:"Opus 5 is a really bad model" on Tuesday July 28, 2026 @01:26PM (#49087147)
Can't you just specify claude-opus-4-5 with the /model command and go back to that era?
Re:Open-Source Agentic QA Harness with Memory on Tuesday May 19, 2026 @01:15PM (#48196215)
Interesting. Can it use Detox (React Native) and/or what does it use to talk to physical mobile devices (eg; Appium?)

Thanks

Re:Hyperframes – AI Video Creation for Agents on Sunday April 19, 2026 @03:07AM (#47822362)
Remotion-ish video editing designed for agents, from HeyGen.
I believe there are a number of cli tools which also use Anthropic's Max plan (subscription) - this isn't just an OpenCode issue.

I had the TaskMaster AI tool hooked up to my Anthropic sub, as well as a couple of other things - Kilo Code and and Roo Code iirc?

From discussions at the time (6 months ago) this "use your Anthropic sub" functionality was listed by at least one of the above projects as "thanks to the functionality of the Anthropic SDK you can now use your sub...." implying it was officially sanctioned rather than via a "workaround".

I'm pretty sold. downloaded it earlier, had an issue with Lucid not automatically appearing in the list of apps to permit accessibility permission, but after a coffee I remembered that apps can be manually added (so you can ignore my support email! :-) ). My minor niggle would be no trial option, that always puts me off slightly - although I appreciate your refund offer. Oh hell, I'll just buy it. It's worth it to reward the slick onboarding process! :-)
Pleaee talk me into buying your product! :-) I currently use the free version of Superwhisper on Mac.
Re:Claude Is Down on Friday October 31, 2025 @09:53AM (#45771991)
I wonder if it's coincidence: today Anthropic mailed out all previous customers of Claude offering a free monthly of 5x Claude Code if they sign up again.

Plenty on Reddit saying they did. And I did.

Could the outage be a the result of an "unexpected" surge in account activations / use?

Not much of a "welcome back" ;-)

Just use Claude Router? Supports Ollama and most others.

Uptick in TOR usage?
Worth noting that despite the relatively impressive battery / storage capacity, I believe there is still an 800W* max limit into the home's AC system from the EcoFlow inverter using this supply method.

Therefore you can forget completely supplying electricity for an oven, kettle or microwave in most cases.

*Due to local regulations: 800W UK, 600W in some parts of Europe - I believe it's 800W in the US but please DYOR.

Having said all that, their existing PowerStream inverter + battery Power Stations work really well and are literally plug & play. I've been running a setup in the UK and it's drastically reduced our electricity consumption from the grid whilst still being a simple plug & play self-install.

Re:Starlink User Terminal Teardown on Friday May 09, 2025 @05:29AM (#43935153)
Surely anyone with any imagination inside Starlink would have insisted on there being _42_ keys?

Perhaps Elon _doesn't_ have a brain the size of a planet after all.

Re:Void: Open-source Cursor alternative on Thursday May 08, 2025 @04:56PM (#43931264)
Just use the Context7 MCP ? Actually I'm assuming Void supports MCP.
Re:Single day Firebase bill for $100k on Sunday May 04, 2025 @04:00AM (#43885282)
It does seem crazy that the default state for Firebase, CloudFlare et.al is not to alert the account owner when out-of-the-ordinady usage charges hit, say $5k above "the norm". We're not talking a service interruption, just a simple heads-up email to confirm that all is well.
The README shows audibit.app for the web app.

That doesn't seem to work, presumably it should be .com as shown elsewhere in the repo?

Looking forward to an Android version.

There a quite a few "Memex is similar to" Cursor, Claude Code, Trae etc etc here. But I couldn't find "Memex is better than...because..."

What's the elevator pitch for why a vibe coder should use Memex rather than Roo, Cline, Trae, Cursor, Windsurf and the countless others that I've already forgotten about

Thanks

I can't see President Musk adding electric cars to his tarrif exemption list any time soon...
You can do exactly the same in the UK. I am, and I do.
As he's an officer of a public company, isn't this kind of wildly inaccurate prediction covered by some kind of law?
Re:I think I built the future of email in a weekend on Sunday February 16, 2025 @03:15AM (#43066299)
Not much of a future, I tried that download link but my Android device wasn't interested.

Perhaps that's for next weekend?

Re:Purelymail: Cheap, no-nonsense email on Monday January 27, 2025 @10:00AM (#42841783)
Another happy Purelymail customer here (5 years).

if anyone needs to move mail storage from one IMAP server to another (eg; Purelymail) I can highly recommend https://imapsync.lamiral.info/

Not for it's website graphic design, but as a CLI tool that works perfectly. "source server -->> target server" and let it run

"paywalls, no subscriptions – just pure design goodness, forever."

I thought Mobin itself required a subscription, for all but limited access?

Nice. How does one submit a suggestion? I'd like to propose Anytype as an alternative to Notion.
Anyone looking for the EFJ's new home:

https://bsky.app/profile/efjeurope.bsky.social

let's face it, what does X have that can't/hasn't already, very easily be replicated elsewhere?

in the past I might have said "legions of effective moderators. You can't just flick a switch and implement that on a Twitter clone".... but now?
